The month of valentines, pancakes and lot’s of BFP’s! 🤞🏻❤️

Hi Everyone,

I thought I’d start a new thread for February following the January one.

About to start month 4 of TTC after a MC last month.

The months seem so long with a TWW thrown in but then I also can’t believe I’m about to start cycle 4! (I know that isn’t a long time for some of us and that makes me feel sad, TTC is so unfair at times)

Anyway, feel free to join if you’d like to get through February together! X

I bought some cosy slipper booties off Amazon and I slept in them last night, it was amazing!

Meanwhile - 11pm and OPK peak is still AWOL!

How completely bizarre! It’s just clicked that I started Ubiquinol on CD1, can that delay ovulation?!

Small period changes after Covid jab seen to be short-lived www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-60139091

I’ve just copy and pasted the above link from BBC news. Another thing to worry about, a covid infection can affect the quality of sperm and we both had it over Christmas. Always something to worry about!

Anyway, 1DPO today..

@Decaffe what CD are you on now? Not sure about Ubiquinol, I actually don’t know what that is?!

So my early period has lasted 48 hours exactly and then ended before it should have even started. I can’t get over how weird it is.

It seemed like a normal period otherwise though Is it stupid to think maybe I should test again in a few days just in case?

Morning! Today is CD14, OPK seems to have gone a little higher so maybe today will be peak day after all. Two days later than normal, hasn’t happened for a whole year!

Ubiquinol helps egg quality in older women However it’s not cheap which is why I only started taking it this cycle. It’s the only thing that’s changed this month so I think it must be that. I did a search of the MN boards last night and a few people said it delayed ovulation. Perhaps as it’s meant to improve egg quality that’s the reason why? 🤔

Anyway I’ll just roll with it! DH and I are going away for a few days so it’s good timing really

@Decaffe

Yes *@QueenBee22*, all three times. Wherever I was in my cycle while having the jab, it made the next full cycle shorter.

I’m normally pretty regular at 27/28 days… instead it made them 26, 25 and 23!

Thanks @Decaffe relieved I am not the only one. It shortened mine by about 8 days!

@Decaffe how lovely that you are away for the weekend at your peak...hopefully it's a sign!

I'm CD14 today too and seen a slight rise in LH, not a peak but the rise a 2 days earlier than usual, which I'm glad about as I'm trying to length my 11 day LP. Hopefully this means something is working 🤞🏻

@QueenBee22 wow! You’re the only other person I’ve heard that happen to! This sounds terrible because I am absolutely pro-vax, but I have considered that if another booster came along, I’m not sure if I would take it if I were still TTC. Ovulation on CD9 isn’t good and 23 day cycles can’t be good and I just don’t think at my age I could afford to take the risk of another messed up cycle? Anyway. Touch wood we don’t all have to make that decision any time soon!

@Natalie2304 that sounds promising! Fingers crossed! Have you been taking any supplements to lengthen your LP?

@TheBirdintheCave yes that does seem unusual, I probably would be curious to test again, stranger things have happened?!

@Decaffe I've been taking 500mg of vit C since the beginning of this cycle and also changed from just folic acid to the seven seas conception vitamins as it has vit B6 in which apparently also helps. So will be interesting to see if it works as I've had to shorter LP since having my DD 2.5 years ago.

@Decaffe Yeah, I'll give it a week and then take one of my cheapies. I'll try and forget about it until then and just be happy that I wasn't in lots of pain this time haha.

@Sunrise321 that's fab! What dosage did you take? The seven seas doesn't have much in but I figured it was better than nothing. If it doesn't work I will be adding more B6 in next month

And we have ovulation lift off! 🚀

Let’s hope the extra two days’ maturing will have been worth it! 🥚

@Natalie2304 I have been taking a B vitamin complex (link is on my other thread about supplements) and it has reduced my pre-AF spotting from 5/6 days to 2 days

Me too.good luck everyone.

Cycle 2 TTC#3

@Decaffe ah yay!! You must feel very relieved!

I’m 1DPO now, we haven’t DTD today and I’m really feeling like we should have done to cover all bases. I know that’s going to be in the back of my mind for the next two weeks now! Annoying!

@Decaffe oh that is interesting. If it's not our month then I'll definitely be adding it in next cycle.
@Sunrise321 thank you for the recommendation ☺️

Could you go for it this evening? I’m in a similar dilemma now….

We’ve been doing every other day (as per @Purple29’s consultant’s recommendation ) so we did last night and we are due to do tomorrow (ovulation day). But now I’m thinking… should we switch to the SMEP method? In which case, doing it tonight and tomorrow?!

Decisions decisions!! 😂

Hi all, can I please be added? 12DPO but BFN for now so I think I'm out for January.
Feb will be 4th month TTC!

@Decaffe I ovulated yesterday so I think this evening will be a bit late now. We did DTD yesterday and the day before but I would have felt more confident if we had done it this morning too 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi @ElleBelleLou welcome to the thread. Hoping there is a small chance for you still but if not then hopefully February will be your month!

Also feel the same @Curlywurly3 I ovulated Monday and DTD last Thursday, last Saturday and Monday and couldn't manage anything else as DP away so makes me feel I didn't do it enough 😞

@Curlywurly3 I guess you don’t know exactly when yesterday you ovulated. Eggs can sit for 24hours… wouldn’t do any harm. We are done for this cycle, I’m 1DPO today and at work so won’t be D2D tonight.
